What is the main function of osmosis?Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, down the concentration gradient, through a semipermeable membrane.Therefore it's main function is to transport water to cells that need it (e.g. from the bloodstream/tissue fluid in humans and other organisms, and from the xylem in plants) allowing cells to dissolve substances (as there is an aqueous environment; water is the main component of the cytosol of the cell cytoplasm) so that chemical reactions can occur in the cells, therefore the metabolic processes such as aerobic respiration, digestion, cell division, and protein synthesis that sustain life can be carried out, allowing the organism to survive.
